I'm just glad Nash didn't tear his quad while tweeting.

I honestly don't think he's being serious here.
But I'd totally watch him walking around a mall while on acid.

Eighteen months ago maybe, but Vince didn't bite during Nash's latest attempt to rejoin the E (and face 'Taker at 'Mania) and I say good for him. WWE doesn't need this tweeting fool one little bit. I promise you Kevin Nash has not made a bid to come into WWE and face the Undertaker at Wrestlemania. Wherever that comes from, it was a work, a joke. Nash ain't stupid. Ah c'mon who are you fooling, at this point Nash couldn't get a push in the E if he gave Vince a, well you know. And no I really think Nash wanted an E return, the guy mentioned it several times (check out some of his recent interviews such as with Tha-O Show for example), but at this point Vince isn't interested. Another thing while in TNA Nash is allowed to pin guys like Joe, news flash that ain't going to happen in the E. The booking team isn't that moronic or shortsighted, or more precisely that willing to appease in ring hasbeens like Big Sexy.

They gave him a job and paid him better than most people there so I don't see what he's complaining about. Nash hasn't had a good match since he was in the WWF. He sucked in WCW and then he sucked in TNA. Does an icon suck for two thirds of their career? No. Is this revisionist history? I mean I'll concede that he has no idea how to play a bad guy (as he constantly tries to get cheered), but his 96 - 98 WCW run was terrific, he was over enough to justify beating Goldberg, and were it not for the 'Fingerpoke of Doom' would likely have drawn some serious bank as champ.

"Over enough to justify beating Goldberg" - Funny you should say that because many within both the industry, & WCW itself at the time (Mean Gene, Bobby Heenan, Konnan exct), have since in public vehemently denounced Nash's ending of the Goldberg Win Streak as one of the "biggest mistake(s)" WCW ever made (right up there with the lackluster finish of Starcade 1997 and the lose of the radicals). Now who is practicing revisionist history, hmmmm?

"f*** going back to tna. Let me drop acid and walk around a mall for a half hour. Now Spike, that's ratings!"
He's right...I would probably tune in every week to see him suck down some tabs and go to Hot Topic.

What's great about being a pro wrestler.
You can say whatever you want, whenever you want. Then call it a work and make fun of all the "marks" who believed you.
What's not great about it. It's the reason why no one believes wrestlers when they actually try and be serious about something. coughshardyhelmshardycoughs

Now who is practicing revisionist history, hmmmm? Everyone who wants to stay in Vince's good graces buried WCW. As a fan I enjoyed the Starcade match and the angle that led up to it. It served it's purpose and beating Goldberg made money. The aftermath was where they screwed up IMO. The build up of Bill trying to get back his belt could have meant box office green. The follow thru, not the initial match was the error IMO

The follow thru, not the initial match was the error IMO What my learned colleague said above. Goldberg losing at the biggest card of the year, after a truckload of interference, to one of the biggest stars on the roster, was not a mistake. Him not getting revenge was a mistake. I think people forget how big Nash was between 1996 and 1998.

PROVE that people said such about Nash ending Goldberg's Win Streak only, or even mainly, because they wanted to get in "Vince's good graces". Your argument is pathetic, and lacks any type of hard evidence. It is all based upon supposition and rumor.

Our point is that Nash beating Goldberg isn't a mistake, it's not setting up a rematch that's the mistake. And while Heenan and co are welcome to their opinions, they're revisionist considering the fact that the WCW rot really set in after March 1999. Three months after Nash beat Goldberg.

Three months indeed, that is about how long I'd guess it'd take for that angle to start taking it's toll. But I'm getting off this merry-go-round. In closing I hope as Jericho would put it, neither TNA or WWE never EVER brings that gelatinous parasitic back.

Bobby Heenan said it was a mistake but I don't remember him saying Nash being the guy to do it was the mistake. He just said that the streak should have kept going to 9000-0 (exaggeration) because the fans weren't tired of him yet.

Others such as Gene, however and many other ex-employees, have been less diplomatic.

If anything Sting is MORE of an icon by not going to the E. Look at guys like Brody and Abdulla and so forth. It nurture the mystic to not get confined to the big place. Look at Fedor.
